Doug Hawkins slams Western Bulldogs' isolation of Tom Liberatore

Re: Doug Hawkins slams Western Bulldogs' isolation of Tom Liberatore

So one in all in? When one person is being silly and out past a reasonable time to be getting home everyone else should stay with him?
Isn't that the job of his parents and family not his mates or his employer?
The best thing to happen to him is being caught. Now he can get professional help not just mates covering for him.

Where did i say covering for him?

Chops,

So are you still saying Hawkins was referring to the night itself?

And yes I do not understand your point.....can you expand on what it is?

Maybe you should read it again then

My questions were genuine but if you do not have the time to answer then fair enough.

I do not have time to explain 3 times to you. Fair enough.

Ok I will take that as you are just being antagonistic for the sake of it and that you misinterpreted the article from the start.

Never said that you did but you are wanting his team mates to stay out as long as Tom wanted/needed them. I think it shows a better test of character for young people to exercise their own judgement about what is acceptable behavior.
I get that you are pointing the finger at the club (and the player) but I just don't agree with it.

Doug wants him to continue to train at the club, well I think the most professional advice available is indicating that it wouldn't be the right thing for Tom.

Dont usually agree with Dougs comments but I do on this one. The bloke has stufed up and been suspended ...... but to be isolated from the club and players is not going to help one bit. A young fellow in this position needs some support and encouragement ... not banishment.

Furthermore, are the leadership group actually have any professional experience in welfare or phsycology?

I reckon a few of them would serve the club better if they went and practiced their kicking skills instead of dishing out ridiculous punishments.

I think the club is in the best position to work out what is the right punishment, We are not talking about amateur hour here, the club would have sought professional assistance before they made a decision.

From what I understand though, the leadership group decided upon the punishment.

The problem is you have are mistaken the teams performances with my views.
The results speak for themselves.

Does the club have access to a Psychologist?

Re: Doug Hawkins slams Western Bulldogs' isolation of Tom Liberatore

Yeah, because smashed folk in their 20's are so reasonable. Some stern words form his team mates would have set him straight.

Maybe even a spot in a boxing ring would be a lesson well taught.

Great political answer chops! WTF does it mean?
So if chops was CEO we'd have a new coach?
Personally think it's to early to make a call on the coach, like more time.
